About this extension
How to use:
- click the image to update an new image
- Use the switch to disable/enable this pattern (need to close the tab and reopen to see the updates)
- click the remove button to remove this pattern.
Sample URL Patterns:
- This extension uses Javascripts' regular expression matching functionality to compare the urls with the patterns, so it supports much more complex url patterns.
Limitations:
* It can't modify the favicons for about:whatever pages, this is the limitation of web extensions.
* It doesn't work well with bookmarks' favicons. I think it can change the bookmark's favicon if you have never bookmarked the page before, however I think Firefox caches favicons in some ways, so if you've bookmarked the page before, this extension won't be able to change it.
